Mike Moghaddas – Exile to Entrepreneur

On this week’s show we host our mutual friend Mike Moghaddas. Mike has led a diverse and interesting life. Originally from Iran, he was smuggled out of the country to Sweden at age 12. He became a top martial artist (judo, shorinji-kenpo and kendo), the youngest founding member of SonyEricsson and now lives in London where he has his own business consultancy. Mike shares with us several stories from his wide-ranging, exciting and often difficult life experiences.
